“…A particular problem with fungal lung abscess patients is that they are difficult to distinguish clinically from patients with bacterial sepsis which leads to delay in diagnosis and delay in antifungal therapy. [4] Once candida infection is confirmed, species level identification is must for prediction of antifungal susceptibility. [9] C. tropicalis have moderate level fluconazole resistant hence other antifungal drugs like Amphotericin B or Voriconazole should be considered for treatment.…”

“…[10] To our knowledge there are very few cases of lung abscesses due to candida infection. [4,11,12] Gupta A et al (2013) reported a case of 45 year immunosuppressed male patient with history of renal transplant 5 years back. Patient was diagnosed as having C. tropicalis lung abscess and started on Amphotericin B but the patient died due to complications.…”

Invasive candidiasis is an emerging fungal infection in immunocompromised patients globally. Presentation of candidiasis in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients as lung abscess is very rare in tropical country like India. Here we report a case of lung abscess due to Candida tropicalis in a HIV positive immunocompromised patient. After diagnosis of C. tropicalis as pathogen the patient was treated by Amphotericin B and Fluconazole, the lung abscess got resolved but the patient succumbed to his illness may be due to nephrotoxicity of Amphotericin B and poor physical condition due other AIDS related comorbidities. The purpose of this article is to take note of this emerging fungal infection in India and also to review literature in this case.

“…Tuberculosis (TB) has been reported in kidney transplant recipients as an infection with predominance in lungs. Lattes et al in an analysis of the characteristics of adult kidney recipients with TB infection reported a fatal case of hemoptysis developed during the first month of TB treatment [9]. Fungal infections have been associated with hemoptysis in renal transplant recipients.…”

Background: Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from respiratory system. Clinical entities associated with hemoptysis in renal transplant recipients differ from those causing hemoptysis in common population. This review summarizes all reported clinical conditions related to hemoptysis in renal transplant patients, their causes, diagnostic approach and management.Methods and Materials: Primary literature was researched through MEDLINE/PubMed database and Google Scholar without restrictions. Relevant and current literatures related to hemoptysis in renal transplant recipients were used.Results: Overall 23 articles were included, since they report clinical conditions associated with hemoptysis in renal transplant recipients. Opportunistic lung infections, pulmonary hemorrhage associated with drugs and malignancies are usual causes of hemoptysis in these patients, sometimes with a fatal outcome.Conclusions: Hemoptysis is an important manifestation in renal transplant patients, caused frequently by rare clinical entities, different from those in common population.

Systemic AA amyloidosis is associated with poorly controlled chronic inflammatory disorders. Chronic infections and inflammatory arthritis are the most common causes; however, they can also rarely occur as a complication of neoplastic disorders. The development of AA amyloidosis secondary to paraganglioma, which is a rare type of tumor, has rarely been reported in the literature. In this case, an 85‐year‐old female patient with a glomus tumor in the neck, who has been followed up over 50 years, applied with complaints of loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea for 5–6 months. While evaluating the patient, who had high levels of acute phase reactants, amyloidosis was diagnosed by salivary gland biopsy. No other cause was found to explain amyloidosis. The patient, who could not tolerate treatment with colchicine and azathioprine, is successfully treated with the interleukin‐1 inhibitor anakinra. A rare relationship, systemic AA amyloidosis, which is thought to have developed as a result of long‐standing jugular paraganglioma, is presented in this article. In addition, publications showing an association between paragangliomas and amyloidosis were reviewed.
